The pilot reported that during the takeoff downhill, from an unimproved airstrip, the airplane 'rolled over a bumpâ, became airborne, and yawed slightly right.

The airplane sustained substantial damage to the left wing.
The pilot reported no preaccident mechanical failures or malfunctions with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
Probable Cause: The pilot's loss of directional control during takeoff, which resulted in a runway excursion.
